PPC Blood Bowl! by

So, I don't know if anyone else here plays Blood Bowl, but they absolutely should. Imagine Warhammer Fantasy - the old-school Warhammer Fantasy that revelled in its own ridiculousness and wasn't wall-to-wall grimderp - was somehow crossbred with American football; that's the game of Blood Bowl, and it is absolutely hilarious, at least to me. As such, I have taken it upon myself at the behest of
nobodythe Blood Bowl League to put together a PPC roster! It's as follows:-
---
0-16 Generic Agent | MA6 ST3 AG3 AV7 | Dodge, Fend | Normal: G | Double: ASP | 60,000 Gold
0-4 DBS Exorcist | MA6 ST3 AG4 AV7 | Fend, Wrestle | Normal: GA | Double: SP | 90,000 Gold
0-4 DMS Assassin | MA7 ST3 AG4 AV7 | Dauntless, Fend | Normal: GS | Double: AP | 100,000 Gold
0-2 DoSAT Technician | MA6 ST3 AG3 AV7 | Bombardier, Pass, Accurate, Secret Weapon | Normal: GA | Double: SP | 110,000 Gold
0-2 ESAS Operative | MA6 ST3 AG4 AG8 | Block, Pro, Stab | Normal: GAP | Double: S | 120,000 Gold

I absolutely welcome any and all criticism and input from my fellow Boarders. =] -

So, I've been having another go at the roster and seeing what it can do. Here's some adjustments I've made:-
---
0-16 Generic Agent | MA6 ST3 AG3 AV7 | Jump Up, Fend | Normal: G | Double: ASP | 70,000 Gold
0-4 DBS Exorcist | MA6 ST3 AG4 AV7 | Tackle, Wrestle | Normal: GA | Double: SP | 90,000 Gold
0-4 DMS Assassin | MA7 ST3 AG4 AV7 | Dodge, Stab | Normal: GS | Double: AP | 100,000 Gold
0-2 DoSAT Technician | MA6 ST3 AG3 AV7 | Secret Weapon, Bombadier, Pass, Hail Mary Pass | Normal: GA | Double: SP | 110,000 Gold
0-2 ESAS Operative | MA8 ST3 AG3 AV7 | Block, Claw, Pro | Normal: GAS | Double: P | 120,000 Gold
Apothecary: Yes
Reroll Cost: 50k
Star Players: Human, Norse, Amazon

So, the rationale with this team is that you can control the field with your linemen and give your more esoteric positionals more breathing room. Fend and Jump Up is a very strong combination, allowing your players to prevent opponents from following up after a block and then letting them get up (if they get knocked down) and move their full movement allowance of 6 squares instead of paying the 3 square penalty to get up. Meanwhile, you have your Wrestle pieces to shore up the line of scrimmage, your Stab pieces for those times when you need to make a bad block or are stuck in place, your Secret Weapon pieces that can hurl explosives the length of the field, and a brace of dedicated blitzing pieces that have very high movement and can mangle high-armour opponents courtesy of Claw. It's a very versatile roster, all things considered, and it might be fun in a tournament setting. =] -

Haven't tried BB yet. But they just announced new Lizardmen minis so I may get into it. Also, the title of your post gave me an idea:

I could just repaint Leonidas' Space Marine mini. Human agents would probably be trickier to distinguish.
